  • Finding start-up opportunities
  • Leaving your current employer but keeping your ideas
  • Protecting your intellectual property
  • Managing the five critical elements of a successful start-up

James Swanson and Michael Baird lay out all the basic concepts clearly, step by step. They demystify the start-up process with frank advice, insiders' tips, and "been there" examples.

You'll learn what it takes for you to create and manage a start-up, and the personal characteristics required to be successful in your new venture.

In good economies and bad, entrepreneurs will continue to lead the way to new markets, new ventures, and new technologies. With this comprehensive new guide, you have a great start to start-up success!
